Probe into ETPâ€™s energy swaps trades

Energy Transfer Partners, operator of the largest intra-state natural gas pipeline system in the US, is under investigation by federal regulators over physical gas purchases and gas swaps trades done on the Intercontinental Exchange, the energy derivatives market.

Regulators have subpoenaed the New York Stock Exchange-listed company after a report that a subsidiary artificially lowered the price of natural gas at the main gas purchasing hub in Texas in an apparent attempt to influence the outcome of a series of swaps trades.
